I Just Lost A Match Because Of "For The People"
This isnt even a rant, I would just like to say how undervalued this perk is, whenever I run it as Survivor, I find it really helpful (plus it gives me a lot of Bloodpoints and makes me the Obsession) and I do not really see that many people run it.
I just had a match (as you can guess by the title), where a single For The People took away all the pressure I had as Killer and lead to a situation where there was nothing I could really do (the only remaining Generators had strong tiles that chained into one another, might I add).
So uh, yea, For The People is underrated, you should use it sometime.

For the people is great perk, actually. High risk, high reward. The reason we don't see it more often is that it requires careful and somewhat strategic gameplay as opposed to the reckless 1v1 play style many survivors prefer.
it's another survivor perk that ether does absolutely nothing or single handedly wins matches. As much as i like the perk i don't blame people for not using effectively an empty perk slot for most matches.
Unironically the chaddest perk in the game
That perk is honestly not even high risk in most situation, health state will be no different whether you use it or not and it's generally net positive when hook state is varied.
I've seen it in a lot of coordinated teams, at least in PuGs.
It really can be strong for sure at certain situations. It has great synergy with we are going to live forever. You use it on a person whose on death hook and you haven't been hooked yet, you could end up saving the whole game!
Just a friendly reminder that Vigil reduces the duration of For the People's broken status.
Also, as someone who hates not getting value from For the People because of being injured, and as someone who hates not getting value from Resilience because teammates insist on healing me to full, running both perks is the best way for me to enjoy both.
It's not a perk that will get value every game but it can be very strong when used well.
I like to run it with Pharmacy. You can grab a medkit after using FTP and as soon as Broken expires you can heal back up quickly.
But then I can’t run deadhard, lithe, adrenaline, and self care?
But then you also need Plunderer's Instinct, or else you're running around aimlessly (or worse, going into the basement.. on purpose... while injured).
Pharmacy should show chests within range while injured, since... you know... "You have a knack for finding medicine"
You don't really need Plunderer's, it's not usually difficult to come across a chest without looking very hard. I don't usually go out of my way for one, I just open one if I see it.
Pharmacy's guaranteed medkit also overrides Plunderer's increased item rarity chances anyway (you have no chance of getting a purple medkit with it). Pharmacy DOES work with Ace in the Hole...but then you run the risk of getting an Abdominal Dressing addon attached to it meaning you can't actually heal because you won't have enough charges.
I wouldn't mind Pharmacy being buffed to show the aura of a chest while you're injured though (eg. it could show the aura of the closest unopened chest from the spot you were injured at).
Just dont run Self-Care then! :)
It’s a very fun perk as well. I sometimes run it when I wanna try something different and getting value out of it is so satisfying.
But i thought the rule was if you don’t run self care you run circle of healing?
It's absolutely brilliant when paired with DH, as it instantly rescues and puts you straight into 'parry' mode with no net loss of health states.
Then take off DH, Lithe is more fun anyway (and SC is still garbage)
BUT I GOTTA HAVE MY DEADHARDS?!
😤
in all seriousness i dont own the rogue reporter lady. Though not because I don’t like her. I just don’t have the 45000 iridescent shards to get everything i currently want.
in r6 siege and for honor i have 200k+ in in-game currency. But in dbd it’s pretty hard to grind out.
It's a very good on demand healing perk,,really strong on swf scenarios mediocre for solo q
It's really hard to use, borderline impossible in solo queue, but yes it has the potential of being incredibly strong is used right. Even in SWF though it's tricky to use so that's probably why you rarely see it.
